I never slept more than 6 hours a night, even as a kid, in a adulthood, the same, when I retired 11 years ago, I decided I would try to sleep more, because listening to a lot of talk about the need for at least 8 hours, all I accomplished was to get more anxious about sleep and got worse. Today at 68, I don’t worry about sleep anymore, I go to bed at the same time every day, exactly at 10 and wake up at 4, stay in bed for a guided meditation for another hour or two, sometimes I fall back to sleep, sometimes I don’t, get up and go for a 20 minute walk, and I stay active all day long, take a hot shower at 8:30 at night, put my orange glasses and read for about 45 minutes, and go to sleep, I do this every day with no exceptions. I take no naps, I don’t feel tired at no point during the day. I have accepted that, for me that’s the right amount of sleep, and don’t ruminate about it. I have to mention that the last time I got sick with a cold was the winter of 2005. Then again, I do eat very healthy and exercise regularly. But that’s me every one is different.

So I do all of these things, but what really improved me to sleep thru the night without waking up as a 52 year old menopausal woman- was when I purchased a 100% French linen duvet cover and linen sheets. I haven’t slept thru the night without at least waking up to pee in years! I believe it’s because I don’t get too hot or too cold and they’re just so cozy! ❤ worth every penny. I put them in my guest room as well and my houseguests said they had the best sleep of their lives! And they’ve been here before when I didn’t have them on the bed and they never mentioned sleeping well. ❤😊

This is one of the best videos out there. I have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Deep sleep is so important

I'm partly retired 61 I love to go to bed at 7am I sleep til 3-4 am without waking up. I feel great when I get up I get dressed first thing Then I take my probiotic with turmeric. Then I go walk for an hour Drink lemon water. Then I have avocado toast I make myself Then I go to work for 4 hrs. At noon I have my organic lunch and I'm done. Early afternoon I look at email Tv news Call loved ones Dance play guitar Work puzzles Knit It's a mindset of routine really but I love it so I guess it works. When I was raising my children I would go to bed at 8pm right after them. I have always believed in great quality sleep. My mother 88 still sleeps 8 hrs very healthy no meds

Well before I retired I used to get home 5.30pm cook dinner wash up, then do housework one night ironing next night hoover thru next out shopping for weekly shop etc etc.worked every night to have my weekend free!!

I have always been a night person I get at least 8 hours of sleep but I don’t go to sleep until 2 am and sleep until 10am. I love the quiet of the night. I can’t wake up early tried for years so I think each of us are either early or late people. That is my opinion. It has worked for me. I’m 72 and have been a night person all my life and still have deep sleep. I read and journal every night …I always have a cup of organic loose camomile tea with a tiny bit of honey and it is so relaxing.

Glad I watched this. It was a reality check for me since I do shift work, sleep late, and fairly heavy on screen time. Time to change jobs (work hours), get better minimizing screen time as much as possible especially at night, get outdoors a lot more and sleep sleep sleep. This was definitely a life changing video. Thanks Dr Axe! 🙏

[kristingoettlicher]

I agree with 100% of these tips. However, I know I will never achieve this until I'm retired. But you are spot on about it going against God's design for us. I usually sleep 4 hours, 10pm to 2 am. Get up at 5 am for work. My diet is great, but it can't compensate for sleep deprivation.

You should have a "Throw Back" episode with Jordan Rubin and the ol whiteboard

[michelefinizio]

Thank you for the video I'm okay with 6 and 1/2 hours sleep that's what I'm used to but I don't like tracking my sleep it only makes me crazy tracking your sleep for me just causes mental anguish I accept my sleep as a insomniac

[kathysmith]

Absolutely great info. What would we do without you doctors who teach natural remedies and health wisdom. Thanku

[brahamwijaya]

What really helped me is one word DISCIPLINE. yes discipline of sleeping before 12 o clock. I aim to sleep somewhere along the lines of 9-11 o clock. 9 o clock is better. And every 6 o clock in the morning i take a walk. At 7am i do sunbath for 15minutes and let some light into my eyes. I also ate breakfast because the research says it helps rewind body clock. And i also take magnesium 200gram morning and 200gr evening to help sleep. I also eat 3-5hours before bed. The most important thing is consistency and discipline

[jessicablackmore]

The soup and salad switch probably did you wonders as well. I think that needs to be acknowledged. Meat stock and soup are very soothing to the gut lining. 👍

[Sanosyenforma]

Great video Dr. Axe!! Very informative, thank you!! 🤩🤩🤩

There is no evidence of a feedback loop with melatonin. It is not just produced in the pineal gland, but also in the mitochondria. Our bodies produce less and less intracellular melatonin with age. Mitochondria dysfunction can also affect intracellular melatonin levels. I encourage everyone to research high dose melatonin protocols. It's completely changed my life. I feel 20 years younger.

Can you please address the crowd who works the night shift? What can they do to improve sleep when they're on an opposite schedule? Thank you!

I tell people out of the three things diet, exercise and sleep. You can still function if you skip a workout or decide to have that chocolate cake…however If you take away sleep for one day you’re not functioning at your best. Sleep is medicine🙏🏻

[djen]

Thank you for all the info, I love listening to your shows. I've had a lifelong interest on improving health naturally and have generally been quite healthy but the last year or two been suffering from what I believe to be adrenal fatigue from several very stressful life events since 2016. I've used your recipe to make bone broth and I'm going to try to be better about being consistent with that and having some 'me time' in the evenings instead of working from 6a to 10p ... Thank you thank you for all you do!!💜

[splainyourself]

Excellent information that just might change my life. Thank you!

These are very informative videos. I just listened to the one on magnesium deficiency and which forms are used for deferent purposes which I recommend watching. A number of years ago I suffered from restless leg syndrome which made it impossible to sleep. I would experience convulsive rhythmic nerve impulses from the back of my legs through my spine to my head. I began taking a magnesium glycinate supplement and have not experienced these events since. I believe this is related to the depolarizing role that magnesium has in muscle contraction.
